HUMBLE HILO

Happy Friday !

I'm off to work a mother of a long day today, so I'm extra glad there is a weekend to meet me at the other end. Ken's family is coming to visit this weekend and I'm really looking forward to relaxing with them. 

Before I get to tackling this Friday down to the ground, I want to share about one of my favorite online stores these days, Humble Hilo. I posted about them on Instagram the other day but wanted to flesh it out here because I love their products so much, especially their bags! They have a philanthropic mission of making handmade and unique Guatemalan textiles available to you, and a portion of every item you purchase goes to support projects in child nutrition, education for women, or microfinance loans for women so that they can start their own small businesses.  

 I have one of their medium sized ones (pictured above) which my sister-in-law gifted me for Mother's Day and it's one of my favorite bags to date. It's handwoven, has leather details, and is really sturdy. Along with bags, they also sell some apparel, shoes and a few rugs - which are all beautiful.  Unfortunately, several of the things pictured below are out of stock because their inventory depends on what gets made and shipped in from Guatemala, but they will periodically restock and it's worth checking out what they do have up. I've been eyeballing the traditional baby dress in Aqua, which I'm hoping they get back in stock!
